Things to do in Ali' Italy – what to see attractions and activities

The Sanctuary is located just outside the town, on a hill. The building was built during the period when King Charles V dominated in Sicily. Thanks to testimonies, it is assumed that the sanctuary was built on 28 April 1568, the date on which a hermit bought the plot of land in which the construction stands. A special feature is the presence of a black wooden statue representing the Madonna.

The museum was created on 20 August 2005 on the Church of S. Maria degli Angeli. The heritage of the Church has always been preserved and never made fully usable. Currently, only a few works and statues are shown. The collection is divided into four parts: the mystery of the Redemption, of the Incarnation, of the Eucharistic and the Church. Among the frescoes presented there is one by Antonello Riccio dated 1587: “S. Leonardo da Porto Maurizio” and one by Friar Simpliciano from Palermo: “S. Lorenzo” of the 16th century.

The Civic Museum is located in the former Oratory of the Filipino Fathers and has been open to the public since 1989. The building has been recently restored. Inside it is possible to admire works of art by artists from the province. Unfortunately, a strong earthquake in 1978 caused serious damage to the entire artistic heritage. The Municipality has taken steps to bring back all the finds in good condition and today it is possible to observe them here.
